I can't believe it! You-Tube shuts down News Hounds.
News Hounds doesn't even allow commenting on You Tube.

http://www.newshounds.us/2008/02/28/youtubes_shut_us_down_again.php

YouTube has "permanently disabled" our accounts - again - because of "innapropriate content" at Fox Corrects Record on Obama and Muslim Schools. We are taking steps to get the accounts reinstated as quickly as possible. Our use of FOX News video clips is protected under Fair Use laws and we trust YouTube will correct this mistake immediately. In the meantime, please bear with us.

1. Is there a link where we can complain to You-Tube?
How about applying pressure on You-Tube advertisers to urge You-Tube to restore your free speech?

kicking and recommending, this should be on page one

2. Nominated and kicked
Newshound has been a great watch dog group keeping their eye on Faux news.
I liked to see how this story plays out.

3. Someone asked, at News Hounds comments,
"Murdoch didn't buy YouTube did he?"

6. Was this video from News Hounds? It was censored after I posted it on DU
This is my all time favorite video--It's hilarious!
:dem: "Parade of Propaganda" and a "Festival of Ignorance"
Thank You to Lint Head http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2913025

Kudos to LiveLeak for not censoring it--too bad we can only embed YouTube
